Holy crap, that is a LOT of fixes, cheers for the post Jelly, much appreciated

*Update*

Posh's databases do not appear to be compatible with the game, that is the only plausible reason I can think of for my MV Croatia game not working, as it will not load. It has the Luxembourg league running, so I'm going to cut and paste it onto my desktop and see if that fixes the problem, my Blackpool game works fine and I don't have any database changes in that game.
